Full and balanced tea with the second flush, coming from the unusual tea gardens located very high - at almost 3,000 meters in the Himalayas.

Production of Nepal tea is strongly conditioned by favorable climatic conditions, as well as the guidelines of the economy of Nepal, which do not allow the enrichment of the artificial methods of production. The result is a tea organic, pesticide-free. The plantation is supported by HOTPA (Himalayan Orthodox Tea Producers Association)

The taste of tea is reminiscent of a tasty and full of familiar Darjeelling teas - but that Nepal is very balanced, which makes it encountered without excessive focus on teas from the first flush.

In my cup this morning, an exceptional second flush Assam tea from Upton (Marangi Estate FTGFOP1 CL). Very full bodied brew, with great complexity. Tons of malt, molasses, dried fruit and bracing dry red wine finish. Pretty pricey, but I may compelled to re-order.
